AS Monaco faces the Benfica Lisbon in the round of the Champions League, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected composition for the Principality club.

Five days after a setback without appeal against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes (1-4), theAS Monaco will have to raise his level and regain defensive solidity to face Benfica, this Wednesday evening, in the first leg of the Champions League (kick -off at 9 p.m.).

A match that the Monegques tackle with a thirst for revenge since the eagles of Lisbon came to shower Louis-II last November, during the league phase, after a meeting marked by unfavorable arbitral decisions (2-3).

Questions in all lines

With which starting eleven ASM will start this shock? Surprises are expected in all lines. In great difficulty in the coverage of the depth, Caio Henrique has a weakened status and could leave its place in the defensive line. In the middle, the essential Zakaria is expected, but in the Golovin creation area could regain its place at the expense of a minamino little in sight.

Finally, in front, the winter recruit Mika Biereth will make its big beginnings in the Champions League with the Monegasque jersey? It is a real trend, as the Danish striker has scored points since his beginnings. If Biereth was established, Embolo could pay the price, although the two centers were associated with the park on Friday.

The expected composition for Monaco : Majecki – Vanderson, Kehrer, Salisu, Caio Henrique – Zakaria, Magassa – Akliouche, Golovin, Ben Seghir – Biereth.
